The follow-up, PR 2961 from njbrake, goes further: it makes trash teardown a first-class claimed operation instead of a…

The same instinct shows up in the server layer. PR 2971 replaced a client-side loop for deleting multi-session workspaces with a single atomic server endpoint — before, a closed browser tab mid-loop could leave orphaned sessions behind. And PR 2944 fixed a status flap where a working Claude session was misreported…
